svchost still goes to 100% CPU on the desktop (SPONGEBOB) when the dial-up
connection to the Internet is connected. Maybe the cause of "could not find
host www.yahoo.com" on the laptop (DELBOY). I can ping the outside world
sometimes from the laptop, usually only 3 of 4 (75%) successful though.
It takes a long time for the shared Internet connection to show up as
'connected' on the laptop (via control panel/network connections) - I assume
that this is because of the CPU situation on the desktop.
Still don't automatically get 'Entire Network?', ?Microsoft Terminal
Services?, ?Microsoft Windows Network? and ?Web Client Network? displayed via
on 'My Network Places' on the laptop.
By the way, the 'Could not connect to registry, error = 53 - Unable to
determine build of browser master: 53 - Unable to determine server
information for browser master: 5' and 'Unable to open Service Control
Manager database on' messages are nothing to worry about?
Thank you for your help thus far.
Glad to help - this is a learning experience for me too.
To start from the last, both the "Unable to determine server information for
browser master: 53" and "Unable to open Service Control Manager database" are
consequences of using a Windows XP Home computer as a server. The first is from
XP Home not providing remote registry access, the second is from XP Home not
providing networked administrative access. Both are annoying, but neither is
anything to worry about.
Now the lack of administrative access does prevent us from using CPSServ for
relational analysis, but CDiag did that one quite well, and congrats on setting
that up perfectly, seeing it eliminated a few possibilities.
The next step is to find out what svchost.exe is using up the CPU. Get Process
Explorer (free) from SysInternals, and run it.

Configure Process Explorer. Under View - Select Columns, on the Process
Performance tab, select CPU History and CPU Usage. You can click on any column
heading in the PE display to sort by that column. This will make it easy to
observe which process (which instance of svchost.exe) is hogging the CPU.
When you find the hog, right click on it and select Properties. On the Services
tab, you'll have a list. You can't copy and paste from the display :( , so
just type the names, in the Service column, here please.
